QUARTERLY MEETINGS IN N. Y.
By R. F. COTTRELL
My former report was written at the close of the meeting at Olcott. Bro. Fuller remained and held meetings through the week and over the following Sabbath. The interest increased. The church had entered into a covenant to seek the Lord with all their heart until they should obtain his Spirit and be free in the Lord. And as they sought, by prayer and fasting on the part of some, freedom was obtained. Then the Lord wrought for the unconverted—the young who attended the meeting—and every soul that came under the influence of the meeting was moved to seek the Lord. A good work indeed was begun; and we trust it will go on till the day of the Lord Jesus. This will be the case if the church is faithful to their vows. At Lancaster, also, the Lord met with us. Brethren and sisters came from Olcott to engage in the work; and they came in the enjoyment of the blessing of the gospel. A good work was done here. The church covenanted to enter upon the work of seeking the Lord, and commenced the work. The Lord meets his people just as soon as they begin to seek him with the whole heart. A good work was also begun at Niles Settlement. But as we return there again, I defer the report of that meeting till my next. We believe the time is come when those that are going through must arise not to fall back.
